Publication App

The famous app “Magazine App” gained a more robust brother, called “Publication App”. While the first allows you to publish only one issue, the second is based on a client-server architecture and allows you to add new issues that are stored in the cloud and can be downloaded by users in the app.

The whole process is very simple:

This application does not use any expensive and complex library to display PDF files, instead it uses a display method of sliced images inside an HTML file intelligently assembled. This allows a remarkable performance, without losing the ability to zoom in on pages.

The app also allows the navigation thumbnails and sessions (editorial).

More good news are about the server layer. Don?t worry with complex configurations of scripts and databases? nothing!!... All the system runs with Backendless Framework and you?ll need to pay something only if you have huge use (as you can see here). Very, very easy to start using.
If you want to know more, you can read de documentation here.

As a bonus you get Publication Manager: a Web application responsible to manage your publications, by uploading PDF files for processing and submit to the cloud.

The app also have AdMob support included and you can enable or disable banner and/or interstitial very easily.
